Silicon Photonics Programme

NTU_PageContent

The Silicon Photonics Programme focuses on the development
of photonics devices and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) on a silicon (Si)
platform. By leveraging the silicon micro and nano-fabrication technologies in
the Nanyang NanoFabrication Centre (N2FC) in NTU, researchers and
students under the programme are working on the development of CMOS compatible
silicon photonic devices and ICs for high-speed optical communication and
sensing. The ultimate goal of the programme is to enable large scale and
high-density integration of optical functions in silicon wafers. Integration of
III-V compound semiconductor photonic devices on the Si platform is also a key
research area.
